Future of PowerMacG5

MacBidouille reports on some rumors of upcoming technologies coming in the PowerMac G5 line.

According to the site, PCI-X is only the beginning, and to expect technologies such as PCI-X 2.0, a 1.7GHz Bus "in the beginning of 2004", 3GIO/PCI-Express in 2004/2005. Macbidouille also claims that plans for 2GHz and 2.5GHz speeds are for the end of the year.

Few details of these rumors are given -- for example, the actual PowerMac G5's bus runs at 1/2 of the 970's Processor Speed. A 1.7GHz bus would imply a 3.4GHz 970 Processor - based on current PPC970 designs. But this is not what is implied in the article.
